It has been truthfully said that woman excels in insight, in her power of intellectual penetration, in the instantaneous, intuitive discernment of truth, like that of St. John, and that the masculine mind is superior in the discursive, or dialectic faculty, in the Pauline ability to forge and weld together the successive links of a chain of reasoning. Mrs. Booth combines both these qualities. She is Pauline and Johannean in the cast of her mind. He will be happily disappointed who opens th...

Further, I want to remark that in the Bible a Christ is offered that meets this need. This is the great distinguishing boast of our faith—the only religion on the face of the earth in which the idea of a Christ has ever been conceived. The Bible offers this Christ. The golden chimes of great joy that rang out on the day when He was heralded by the angels, were to be glad tidings to all people of a Saviour which was Christ the Lord, a mighty deliverer, able to cope with man’s inability, wit...

Having received many expressions of satisfaction from those who listened to the following addresses, as to the information given and the views set forth, I am encouraged to hope that the publication of them, with a few additions, may be useful to all disinterested and intelligent persons desiring to form a correct judgment as to the constitution and aim of the Salvation Army. The views herein expressed, not only convey the earnest convictions of my own mind, but also those of my husband an...

In presenting another Volume of reports of my Addresses, I have only to repeat what I have said with respect to similar books before—Read, for the sake of getting more light and more blessing to your soul, and you will, I trust, partake of the good which many have professed to receive at the West-end services, wherein most of these words were first spoken.I am well aware that, in such imperfect reports of, for the most part, extemporaneous utterances, often most hurriedly corrected...

The first and most common objection urged against the public exercises of women, is, that they are unnatural and unfeminine. Many labour under a very great but common mistake, viz., that of confounding nature with custom. Use, or custom, makes things appear to us natural, which, in reality, are very unnatural; while, on the other hand, novelty and rarity make very natural things appear strange and contrary to nature. So universally has this power of custom been felt and admitted, that it h...

It will be observed that these papers are mostly the reports of addresses delivered at various times, in various places where God has called me to witness for Him. I have frequently been asked to publish them in one volume by those who have listened to me with thankfulness to God and profit to themselves.Compelled in great measure to desist for a season from public speaking by bodily infirmity, I seize the opportunity to repeat on paper what I have been privileged to express in (to...

My dear Friends,—I feel a special interest in addressing you on the present occasion; a sort of family feeling resulting from a community of interests which is always inspiring. I have sometimes thought, when I have heard men talking to women on their duties as wives and mothers, their trials and difficulties, and so on—“Ah, it is all very good, but you don’t know much about it, after all.” Now, I do not come to speak to you to-night under this disadvantage, at any rate. I do know somethin...

HAVING abundant evidence that this pamphlet has been rendered very useful, the first issue being exhausted, and feeling that there is as great need as ever for light upon the subject, the author has been induced to issue a second edition. In doing so she has taken the opportunity to enlarge and improve it, rendering it, on the whole, she trusts, better worthy of the important subject of which it treats. IN dealing with the pamphlet before us we purpose to deal exclusively with the principl...

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a natural process by which damaged or unwanted cells are dismantled in an orderly and atraumatic fashion. It is of critical importance in development, homeostasis, and cell population control. Research over the last decade is now enabling scientists to comprehend how genes and the protein products interact to control apoptosis. This has led to the current position where researchers may be able to directly modify the action of key proteins through gen...
